Who says you need to wait until your TV show is in production to drop the first teaser? Ryan Murphy took to Twitter to share the first promo for his new Fox series, Scream Queens, on the very fitting day of Friday, Feb. 13. Get it? Friday the 13th…
Anyway, the new teaser is above!
Scream Queens has an A-list cast attached and its premise sounds like it'll be must-watch. The new horror anthology series stars Emma Roberts, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lea Michele, Joe Manganiello, Keke Palmer, Abigail Breslin, Billie Lourd and Skyler Samuels. Pop singer Ariana Grande and Nick Jonas are also set for unspecified roles. The horror-comedy show (hormedy?), which hails from Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan, is set at a college rocked by a series of murders.
The series will hit Fox this fall. "I knew I wanted to work with Brad and Ian again on something comedic, and we are having a blast writing Scream Queens," Murphy said in a statement when the show was announced. "We hope to create a whole new genre—comedy-horror—and the idea is for every season to revolve around two female leads. We've already begun a nationwide search for those women, as well as 10 other supporting roles, and we're very grateful to Dana [Walden] and Gary [Newman] for their enthusiastic support."
Scream Queens is just one of a few shows Murphy has in production. With Glee wrapping up this year, Murphy will shift his attention to American Horror Story's fifth season—which may or may not include Jessica Lange—and American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson.
Details on about AHS season five are still scarce, but expect a reinvention of sorts. The cast for American Crime Story includes Cuba Gooding Jr., Sarah Paulson, David Schwimmer and John Travolta.
